In a significant breakthrough for law enforcement in Jamaica, the St James police have arrested a woman believed to be the leader of a notorious robbery gang that has terrorized communities across the island. The suspect, known by the alias ‘Toots,’ was apprehended along with six of her associates on October 5 in Montego Bay, following a series of coordinated operations under ‘Operation Endgame.’ Launched on October 1, this initiative has already yielded substantial results, including the arrest of over 30 individuals linked to various crimes such as robbery, larceny, and drug offenses. Superintendent Lynroy Edwards expressed pride in the operation’s success, emphasizing that the capture of Toots marks a critical step in dismantling the gang’s operations. The police also seized a Toyota Axio, ammunition, ski masks, and stolen items during the raid. Additionally, ‘Operation Endgame’ has led to the interception of a car theft syndicate, with three suspects arrested and incriminating evidence recovered. The police remain committed to intensifying their efforts to ensure St James becomes one of the safest regions in the Caribbean.
